What is Hospice Care?

Hospice care is a philosophy of care designed to improve the quality of life for individuals with terminal illnesses. Unlike curative treatments, hospice focuses on comfort, dignity, and support for patients and their families. It includes pain management, emotional counseling, and spiritual guidance delivered by a team of dedicated professionals.
